    I find breast stroke easy and natural. I'm so bad at the others. Freestyle looks effortless when others do it but I struggle so much with breathing, timing, and hips sinking. I like this narrator and great explanations

      Keep at it, this is part of the process. I had the same problem when getting back into swimming after many years, even though I used to be pretty decent as a kid (not competitive but I was swimming maybe once or twice a week). A month ago I struggled to do a 100 free without resting, now I do 400 no problem. It's all about technique, controlling your pace and not panicking. Your lungs will also get stronger as you swim more so it will get easier.

    I learned front crawl last year as swim newbie. Since I have no one to practice with (just me and the pool) and no coaching, I memorize what I see on RUclips and duplicate later. It was impossible at first because I had fear and no swim muscle. Once my body adapted to water, what the coaches said I could implement. I find breaststroke kick and timing easy to learn. It took me very little time to get. I do butterfly kick a few laps as warmup with hope to learn it later this year. Backstroke I can do but not well. Currently I do a couple of laps as cool down.

    I have trained swimming for couple of years in high school. And now, ten years later, I am planning to start again. But not in a team, nor trainer, just solo. I remember having two and a half hour summer trainings where we did 5-7km almost non-stop. Now, after 100m I have a blackout lol. But, without a doubt I will be back on track. Love the water.

    My favorite was my weakest, fly.
    Breast is frustrating, and least pleasurable to persevere in because of its odd intermittency. Back is joyous and relief (in extremis, air availability feels marvelous. Free feels pleasurably determined. I don't think there will ever be a distance fly.

    I wish a I could do all 4 . Especially the butterfly. But with my LS2-3 and cervical 4-6 destroyed from Rugby, I’m only allowed the crawl and backstroke because my head and body needs to be lateral. I cannot keep raising my head with breaststroke/ frog.

      Glad you enjoyed the video! Some swimmers exhale underwater the entire time and then stop when they turn their head to breathe and inhale. Some swimmers exhale, hold their breath, then inhale when they turn to breathe. It's a personal preference!

    I’m 13F competitive swimmer, and I’m the slowest in my team. I feel horrible because my teammates in my relay team have kept improving but I’m still super slow. Recently, there has been a new girl and because she’s faster than me, I’m bumped out of the relay team. I’m contemplating whether or not I should continue swimming. Here are my timings per 50m:
    Free- 38s
    Back-45s
    Breast- (my least fav stroke) 58s
    Fly- (one of my favs) 43s
    I know I’m not fast, but I train for 2h 4 times a week and I just want to find any way I can to get faster so I can swim with my friends again. I’ve had some of my fav memories with them and they are my only friends. I rlly hope this helps me to cut down some time.

    • @myswimpro

      Hi Nadia! We recommend that you talk to your coach about your concerns. They can hopefully give you some specific, one-on-one feedback. For what it's worth, it's great to have goals, but getting faster and continuing to have fun don't always go hand-in-hand. Focus on your why before making a big decision :)

    Fun, in Sweden we learn breaststroke first, then backstroke (mandatory in elementary school) crawl and butterfly can be learned in our freetime.
    Most likely elementary school will accept either breaststroke, crawl or butterfly on "physical exam" day. But backstroke is mandatory for 50 meters. Then 150 m for any other swimstyle.

  • @chunyuenlau56
    @chunyuenlau56 Год назад +13

    Have been swimming breaststroke since 8 years old. I find EVA is irrelevant in breaststroke as it interrupts your momentum if you focus too much on it. Instead, try getting the head back into the water asap and work on a powerful frog kick because, unlike other strokes, you get over 80% of the speed from the kick.
    On the contrary, I find knowing breaststroke well does not help with freestyle one iota. Freestyle is a completely foreign language to me, and I had to learn from the beginning when I tried to swim the stroke seriously four years ago. 😞

    • @sjamalabad1
      @sjamalabad1 Год назад +3

      "knowing breaststroke well does not help with freestyle one iota". Agree completely. I too have been swimming breaststroke since I was a kid. (I'm now 60 plus). I can do 60 laps breaststroke of a 25 M pool without going out of breath. But doing anything more than 6 laps freestyle is a struggle. I go seriously out of breath and run out of steam. I'm tearing (what's left of) my hair out trying to figure what I'm doing wrong. Wish someone could give me tips.

But have to master it finally. I’m doing 4-5 times weekly swimming regularly and I miss that one stroke to make things more fun ❤

  • @fikujez

    One challenging thing about practicing butterfly is also how much space you need, which is almost the whole lane. If you're just an amateur swimmer who has to squeeze in practice around work hours, you'll almost always share a lane with a number of people, good luck doing butterfly.

    Hmm..... You said with the fly that you want to pull straight back rather than the old S shaped pull, but all of the swimmers are using the S pull. Generally the fly is taught with the S pull, and freestyle is taught to pull straight back with no S. I never could swim breast stroke unless I used a scissor kick. I am naturally pigeon toed, and my feet will not turn out enough to be able to get any power with the whip kick. My favorite stroke is the old over arm side stroke which is much faster than the breast stroke anyway.

    Demande spéciale: the devilhand de 2014 un film qui m'a surpris vu qu'on ne sait pas réellement à quoi on n'a affaire est ce un slasher ? Un film de possesion, un thriller psychologique où un mélange de tout ces genre !?

    I end up not breathing out (blowing bubbles) at all and then attempt to breath in again and add up to the air I’m already hoarding in my lungs 🤦🏾‍♀️
